2008 offical testing

The three manufacturers of SUPER GT, Honda, Nissan, and Toyota, participated in a 5-day test session held at Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia from the 14th to 18th of January. All the machines that traveled for the test were of GT500 class. Honda Racing brought two NSX's (No.1 & 18), NISMO with three GT-R's (No.22, 23 & 230), and TRD and TOM'S each brought a SC430 (No.36 & 430), making it a total of seven SUPER GT machines. All cars tested new aero parts and tires for the '08 season.

Apparently Toyota set the fastest lap time under 1'54.781, followed by Nissan with 1'55.004 and Honda 1'55.725.

Looks like Honda will have a tough 2008 season.

2008 GT-R

Nissan will be replacing their worn out 350Z with their new R35 Skyline machine. The Nissan teams suffered badly last year with a 3rd place standing in 2007 SuperGT season due to nagging mechanical issues and lacked pace. Hope that Nissan can give their fellow competitors Toyota and Honda a good challenge with this mean looking machine. Looks promising this year.

Supernatural

I tend to be a sucker for horror movies and series...

but Supernatural is freaking awesome!

Please God have mercy on her and give strength to her family to go through this situation.

end of 2007

2007 soon came to an end. Time just flies faster and faster. Give thanks to God for preserving me throughout the year. This marks the 1st year i've came out to work. Had some interesting events and moments: Moments of gladness and regret, moments of great joy and great sorrow, moments of great achievement and great disappointment.

One of the highlights is i've left LEASH for good and i decided that i won't be playing in a band anymore. After 8 years of pursuing my passion i've come to realize that no matter how hard i try or how much effort, heart and soul i've poured in, the more the disappointment and discouragement I get in return. I can only see my goal drifting further and further away. Although too disappointed to acknoledge it, but I finally accepted that fact that it will never happen and it will never meant to be. Realizing that i'm no longer young anymore and it's pointless to continue on something that i don't believe in, I've accepted the fact and decided to move on and focus on other more important issues in life that i need to do.

Akira died along the end of 2007 at the age of 23.

Whether i'm ready or not, it's 2008 now. And i need to focus on the things i need to to do and to get right in this year. Can't be discouraged with all the disappointments of the past. life goes on. Gotta gather myself up. Good Lord have mercy on me.

Christmas

Hadn't been updating this thing for some time. Not that i'm extremely busy or something: sometimes, but there's just really nothing interesting to write about.

Christmas was fine. Did my last minute Christmas shopping after work. 2 sisters announced their testimony and got baptized on Christmas day. Was kinda hot though. Weather was scorching hot. Kinda tired and sleepy after the cleaning and mopping. Went back for a nap till it rained in the evening. Went for dinner with housemate in Chillis to celebrate Christmas. Was kinda funny though we were starving and my friend was wondering whether the serving is big enough for him until his meal came. He could barely finish more than 50% of the plate haha. Think he'll never underestimate Chillis again. Chilled out and had a couple of drinks there (iced lemon tea) and called it a night. Christmas passed by peacefully just like that.

Season of thanksgiving.
